Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Brawl Stars at 4.7 against Brawlhalla's 4.1. Brawl Stars also leads on ratings volume (3.1M vs 27K) and chart position (#11 vs #161). Brawlhalla's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Brawl Stars sells 25 one-off in-app purchases and Brawlhalla sells 42 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Brawl Stars holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brawl Stars has 3.1M ratings behind it against 27K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Brawl Stars's written reviews are positive against 49% of Brawlhalla's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
